president obama is meeting, as we were just discussing, with president abbas. the question is, what can they accomplish, or are we skrust waiting for secretary of state kerry to take over and get these dialogues moving? >> reporter: zoraida, i think it's -- we're waiting for secretary kerry to take over and get the dialogue moving, but the goal for the president today is to start by seeing what it will take to get palestinians back to the negotiating table. you know, peace talks stalled in 2010. yesterday the president essentially said he did not come to the middle east with his own road map to peace because you wanted to listen to leaders in the region. he said his role today is to listen to palestinians. and i'm sure some republicans in congress will chuckle at that description of the president's role. zoraida? >> as a listener in chief on this trip. how much time is he actually spending there? is he giving equal time to israel and palestine on this trip? >> reporter: no, he is not. the focus of this trip really has been on israel and on healing any hurt feel
